Compassion on Parade
From Scripture, we discover that God is love. It is the essence of who God is. We also learn that His love is bigger than the Universe. Bigger than two septillion stars. It would stand to reason then, that His compassion, the expression of His love, would also be deeper, wider, and fuller than any tongue could tell. In fact, the writers of the New Testament had to coin a new word, just to try and express God’s compassion as seen in…
The Joy of Dire Poverty – Faith
Faith, what is it and how is it received? Is it just another form of works? Can it be built up like your muscles in a gym? Here are the 3 key points:1) It is in our weakness that we find our strength. 2) Faith in God is not received by God’s people building it up. Faith in God is received when faith in our own power is broken down. 3) Prayer is most powerful when we wrestle against our…
True Believers
Everyone has a belief system, including Christians. But many of the things that Christians believe are repeatedly mocked and ridiculed by the secular world. As true believers we must stand firm in our beliefs, regardless of what the world may say or do. Scripture: Matthew 12:40; 2 Timothy 3:16; Ecclesiastes 1:9; Mark 10:6; Matthew 19:4 “True Believers” preached by Daryl Hamilton-Manier on October 15th, 2022 at the Mount Vernon Seventh-day Adventist Church in Mount Vernon, Washington
Daniel 5 and 6: Weighed in the Balance
Today, as in ancient times, our society seems to be spinning out of control. In the confusion, God is weighing our action and reaction to both positive and negative events. In the end, when our last day comes, God will weigh our life and make the determination, “Are we in Balance or are we Wanting?” “Have we worshiped Him or worshiped self?” Scripture: Daniel 5; Daniel 6; 1 Samuel 2:30; John 5:23; James 4:17 “Daniel 5 and 6: Weighed in…
Daniel 4: Testimony of a Monarch
Nebuchadnezzar was the monarch of the Golden World Power Babylon and the builder of one of the seven wonders of the ancient world. He had a problem with pride and self-worship. Today we all strive to be the king or queen of our own little kingdoms. We all struggle with pride and self-worship. Just like King Nebuchadnezzar we need to humble ourselves before the King of Kings and ask Him to give humility and love for all people. Scripture: Daniel 4, Revelation…
Daniel 2 and 3: Honor God Above All Else
Scripture clearly states that if we will honor God, He will honor us. Daniel and his three friends are a great case study regarding this promise. Because Daniel honored God in chapter 1, he was given the opportunity to be God’s voice in chapter 2. Because Daniel’s three friends honored God, they were given the opportunity to declare His faithfulness to the world in chapter 3. Today we are being asked to honor God above all else. Is that something you…

Daisy-Petal Christianity
He Loves me, He Love me not. Ever feel like your walk with God is like pulling Daisy Petals from the flower hoping and praying that the last petal is… He Loves me?
